Man, 32, in police net for raping a minor to coma

A 32 year-old man has been arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command, for raping a 14-year-old to coma, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Aliyu Usman has disclosed.

ASP Usman said, the suspect, Hamza Abdullahi, who resides in Rigasa, Igabi Local Government Area of the state lured Faiza Salisu (14), to his room which is adjacent to the family house of the said victim.

It was further gathered that the suspect before the incident took some sex enhancement drugs and in the process kept having sex with the victim until she fell into coma. Sensing that there was going to the problem, the suspect quickly called a Tricycle driver to help in taking the victim to a bush closer to the house where he intended to dump her.

Our correspondent gathered that luck, however, ran out on him when a relation of the victim saw her being carried into the tricycle. She raised alarm which attracted passers-by. After seeing the condition of the victim, they descended on Hamza Abdullahi. The suspect was saved by men from Rigasa Police Divisional office who took him away.

Speaking to the media at the police command, the suspect agreed to have had carnal knowledge of Faiza Salisu (victim), but said it was with her consent because he promised to reward her financially.

Hamza, who refuted the allegation that he took some sex enhancement drugs, said he only took ‘man power’ sold by some women around the area.

The PPRO said investigation is ongoing in the case, and called on other parents to always come forward and report any such cases instead of succumbing to amicable settlement as being sought by family of Hamza. He assured that the suspect would be charged to court after investigation.
